Definitions
- This invention generally relates to a light filament and a method for making the same, and more particularly to a light filament and a method for making the same formed of carbon nanotubes.
- Electric light filaments are typically made of materials which are either polycrystalline in nature or which are amorphous, or noncrystalline, in nature. Such materials become brittle when they are subjected to high temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Polycrystalline materials which include the majority of commercially available metallic filaments, are characterized by the presence of crystal grain boundaries, dislocations, voids and various other microstructural imperfections. These microstructural imperfections lead to grain growth and recrystallization, particularly at elevated temperatures, which in turn lead to increased brittleness and diminished strength.
- Metallic filaments have relatively low electrical resistivity. Therefore, they are often made quite long and are tightly coiled in order to fit within a light bulb of suitable size. Coiling of a filament reduces its effective radiating surface area because parts of the coiled filaments partially block other parts, thereby diminishing the radiative efficiency of the filament. This results in a coiled filament's higher electrical power consumption to produce the same amount of radiating surface area. A light filament having a higher surface area to volume ratio can provide greater radiative efficiency.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a light filament having a high surface area to volume ratio and great durability, particularly at elevated temperatures.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a light filament having a high surface area to volume ratio and great durability, particularly at elevated temperatures.

- the light filament is characterized by high mechanical strength and durability at elevated temperatures required to achieve incandescence.
- the light filament is characterized by a high surface area to volume ratio and high emissivity compared with conventional metallic light filaments. Additionally, electrical resistance of the light filament does not increase with increasing temperature as much as electrical resistance of metallic light filaments. Accordingly, power consumption of the light filament is low at incandescent operating temperatures.
- a method for making a light filament in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of: forming an array of carbon nanotubes; pulling out carbon nanotube yarn from the carbon nanotube array; and winding the yam between two leads to form the light filament.

- FIG. 4 is a current (I) versus voltage (V) graph, showing empirical I-V curves obtained for a light filament made by the method of the present invention before and after heat treatment.
- the present invention provides a light filament 206 comprising carbon nanotubes.
- the light filament 206 is characterized by high mechanical strength and durability at the elevated temperatures required to achieve incandescence.
- the light filament 206 when wound on two tungsten leads 30 , is characterized by a high surface area to volume ratio and high emissivity compared with conventional metallic light filaments.
- electrical resistance of the light filament 206 does not increase with increasing temperature as much as electrical resistance of tungsten light filaments. Accordingly, power consumption of the light filament 206 is low at incandescent operating temperatures.

- Step 1 Referring to FIG. 1, forming a superaligned array of carbon nanotubes, discussed in greater detail below.
- a substrate 22 is provided.
- the substrate 22 includes a silicon wafer 222 , which is two inches in diameter and 350 ⁇ m thick.
- An 800 nm thick thermal-oxidized layer 224 is deposited on the silicon wafer 222 .
- a surface of the thermal-oxidized layer 224 is flat and smooth, to enable growth of a large-scale array of carbon nanotubes.
- an iron thin film 24 that is 5 nm thick is deposited on the substrate 22 by electron beam evaporation, and is subsequently annealed in air at 300 ⁇ 400° C. for 10 hours to form a ferrous oxide film.
- the ferrous oxide film is reduced to pure iron by reaction with hydrogen or ammonia, so that the pure iron can be used as a catalyst.
- the substrate 22 is then preferably diced into a plurality of rectangular pieces. Each such piece is put into a quartz boat, which is subsequently inserted into the center of a one-inch quartz tube furnace.
- the tube furnace is then heated to 650 ⁇ 700° C. in flowing argon gas.
- a mixture of 30 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) acetylene and 300 sccm argon gas is introduced into the tube furnace for 5 ⁇ 30 minutes.
- Acetylene functions as a carbon source gas
- argon functions as a protecting gas.
- the furnace is then cooled down to room temperature.
- a superaligned carbon nanotube array 20 is formed on the substrate 22 .
- Step 2 Referring to FIG. 2, pulling out carbon nanotube yarn 204 from the carbon nanotube array 20 .
- Carbon nanotube bundles 202 of the carbon nanotube array 20 are pulled out by a tool, for example, tweezers.
- a carbon nanotube bundle 202 is any group of carbon nanotubes formed in a contiguously adjacent group in the carbon nanotube array 20 .
- Step 3 Referring to FIG. 3, winding the yam 204 between two leads functioning as electrodes to form the light filament 206 .
- the yarn 204 Since the yarn 204 is easily broken by strong or uneven forces, the yarn 204 is wound carefully between two tungsten leads 30 which are spaced apart by approximately 1 cm. Silver paste 32 is applied on the tungsten leads 30 at positions where the tungsten leads 30 join with the yarn 204 , to lower resistance between the yarn 204 and the tungsten leads 30 . Thus the light filament 206 is formed, which can emit incandescent light when a DC voltage is applied across the tungsten leads 30 .
- the substrate 22 should be substantially flat and smooth.
- the growth rate should be relatively high.
- the partial pressure of carbon source gas should be relatively low.
- the substrate 22 When the substrate 22 is flat and smooth, a higher density carbon nanotube array 20 can be formed. Because the carbon nanotubes are packed closely together, van der Waals attraction between adjacent carbon nanotubes is strong, which enables the carbon nanotubes to be pulled out from the carbon nanotube array 20 to form the yarn 204 . Therefore, non-porous silicon wafer or silicon wafer with a thermal-oxidized film can be used as the substrate 22 .
- the carbon nanotubes will be well graphitized, and will have no deposits on their outer surfaces.

- the growth rate of carbon nanotubes is proportional to the difference between the furnace temperature and the local temperature of the catalyst. Generally, the difference in the temperatures is controlled to be at least 50° C., in order to enhance the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes.
- the deposition rate of amorphous carbons is proportional to the partial pressure of carbon source gas.
- the local temperature of the catalyst can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate of carbon source gas, and the furnace temperature can be directly controlled.
- the partial pressure of carbon source gas can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of the flow rates of the carbon source gas and the protecting gas.

- the combined width of the yarn 204 can be controlled by a size of the tips of the tool that is used to pull out the yarn 204 . The smaller the tips, the thinner the combined width of the yarn 204 .
- a force required to pull out the yarn 204 together depends on the combined width of the yarn 204 . Generally, the greater the combined width of the yarn 204 , the greater the force required.
- a combined length of the yarn 204 depends on an area of the carbon nanotube array 20 .
- the formed light filament 206 is further treated as follows.
- the light filament 206 mounted on the leads 30 is put into a vacuum system, which is evacuated to 5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 Pa (Pascals).
- a DC voltage is applied to the light filament 206 across the tungsten leads 30 for a fixed period of time so that the light filament 206 emits incandescent light.
- the light filament 206 is stronger and more elastic.
- electrical current in the light filament 206 increases proportionately. It has also been found that the tensile strength and the conductivity of the light filament 206 can be considerably enhanced by such heat treatment.
- a new light filament 206 ′ (not illustrated) having new properties can be formed essentially by performing such a heat treatment on the light filament 206 .
- a different new light filament 206 ′′ (not illustrated) having different properties can be formed by performing a similar heat treatment on the light filament 206 , but using different parameters of time and voltage applied.
- I-V current-voltage
- the I-V curves of the light filaments 206 , 206 ′ and 206 ′′ in vacuum are recorded by using Keithley 237 , respectively yielding curves A, B and C.

- Tensile breaking strength obtained by strain gauge measurement on the light filament 206 and 206 ′′ is 1 mN and 6.4 mN respectively. That is, the tensile breaking strength of the light filament 206 is enhanced more than six-fold after heat treatment for 3 hours at 70V to form the light filament 206 ′′.
- the enhanced conductivity and tensile strength of the light filament 206 ′′ indicates that some structural change has occurred in the light filament 206 as a result of said heat treatment.

Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention generally relates to a light filament and a method for making the same, and more particularly to a light filament and a method for making the same formed of carbon nanotubes.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Electric light filaments are typically made of materials which are either polycrystalline in nature or which are amorphous, or noncrystalline, in nature. Such materials become brittle when they are subjected to high temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Polycrystalline materials, which include the majority of commercially available metallic filaments, are characterized by the presence of crystal grain boundaries, dislocations, voids and various other microstructural imperfections. These microstructural imperfections lead to grain growth and recrystallization, particularly at elevated temperatures, which in turn lead to increased brittleness and diminished strength.
- Metallic filaments have relatively low electrical resistivity. Therefore, they are often made quite long and are tightly coiled in order to fit within a light bulb of suitable size. Coiling of a filament reduces its effective radiating surface area because parts of the coiled filaments partially block other parts, thereby diminishing the radiative efficiency of the filament. This results in a coiled filament's higher electrical power consumption to produce the same amount of radiating surface area. A light filament having a higher surface area to volume ratio can provide greater radiative efficiency.
- Hence, an improved light filament that overcomes the aforementioned problems is desired.
- Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a light filament having a high surface area to volume ratio and great durability, particularly at elevated temperatures.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a light filament having a high surface area to volume ratio and great durability, particularly at elevated temperatures.
- In order to achieve the first above-mentioned object, a light filament in accordance with the present invention is formed from carbon nanotubes. The light filament is characterized by high mechanical strength and durability at elevated temperatures required to achieve incandescence. In addition, the light filament is characterized by a high surface area to volume ratio and high emissivity compared with conventional metallic light filaments. Additionally, electrical resistance of the light filament does not increase with increasing temperature as much as electrical resistance of metallic light filaments. Accordingly, power consumption of the light filament is low at incandescent operating temperatures.
- In order to achieve the second above-mentioned object, a method for making a light filament in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of: forming an array of carbon nanotubes; pulling out carbon nanotube yarn from the carbon nanotube array; and winding the yam between two leads to form the light filament.

- The present invention is further described below with reference to the drawings, in which like reference numerals are used to designate identical or corresponding parts.
- Referring now to FIG. 3, the present invention provides a
light filament 206 comprising carbon nanotubes. Thelight filament 206 is characterized by high mechanical strength and durability at the elevated temperatures required to achieve incandescence. In addition, thelight filament 206, when wound on two tungsten leads 30, is characterized by a high surface area to volume ratio and high emissivity compared with conventional metallic light filaments. Additionally, electrical resistance of thelight filament 206 does not increase with increasing temperature as much as electrical resistance of tungsten light filaments. Accordingly, power consumption of thelight filament 206 is low at incandescent operating temperatures. - A method for making the
light filament 206 comprises: - Step 1. Referring to FIG. 1, forming a superaligned array of carbon nanotubes, discussed in greater detail below.
- Firstly, a
substrate 22 is provided. Thesubstrate 22 includes asilicon wafer 222, which is two inches in diameter and 350 μm thick. An 800 nm thick thermal-oxidized layer 224 is deposited on thesilicon wafer 222. A surface of the thermal-oxidized layer 224 is flat and smooth, to enable growth of a large-scale array of carbon nanotubes. Then an ironthin film 24 that is 5 nm thick is deposited on thesubstrate 22 by electron beam evaporation, and is subsequently annealed in air at 300˜400° C. for 10 hours to form a ferrous oxide film. Then the ferrous oxide film is reduced to pure iron by reaction with hydrogen or ammonia, so that the pure iron can be used as a catalyst. - The
substrate 22 is then preferably diced into a plurality of rectangular pieces. Each such piece is put into a quartz boat, which is subsequently inserted into the center of a one-inch quartz tube furnace. The tube furnace is then heated to 650˜700° C. in flowing argon gas. After that, a mixture of 30 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute) acetylene and 300 sccm argon gas is introduced into the tube furnace for 5˜30 minutes. Acetylene functions as a carbon source gas, and argon functions as a protecting gas. The furnace is then cooled down to room temperature. Thus, a superalignedcarbon nanotube array 20 is formed on thesubstrate 22. - Step 2. Referring to FIG. 2, pulling out
carbon nanotube yarn 204 from thecarbon nanotube array 20. -
Carbon nanotube bundles 202 of thecarbon nanotube array 20 are pulled out by a tool, for example, tweezers. Acarbon nanotube bundle 202 is any group of carbon nanotubes formed in a contiguously adjacent group in thecarbon nanotube array 20. As acarbon nanotube bundle 202 is drawn out, it pulls out othercarbon nanotube bundles 202 joined end to end atjoint portions 203 thereof by van der Waals attraction therebetween. As a result, theyarn 204 is formed. - Step 3. Referring to FIG. 3, winding the
yam 204 between two leads functioning as electrodes to form thelight filament 206. - Since the
yarn 204 is easily broken by strong or uneven forces, theyarn 204 is wound carefully between two tungsten leads 30 which are spaced apart by approximately 1 cm.Silver paste 32 is applied on the tungsten leads 30 at positions where the tungsten leads 30 join with theyarn 204, to lower resistance between theyarn 204 and the tungsten leads 30. Thus thelight filament 206 is formed, which can emit incandescent light when a DC voltage is applied across the tungsten leads 30. - Based on extensive experimentation on the growth mechanisms of carbon nanotubes, the crucial factors for growing a superaligned
carbon nanotube array 20 are listed below: - a. The
substrate 22 should be substantially flat and smooth. - b. The growth rate should be relatively high.
- c. The partial pressure of carbon source gas should be relatively low.
- When the
substrate 22 is flat and smooth, a higher densitycarbon nanotube array 20 can be formed. Because the carbon nanotubes are packed closely together, van der Waals attraction between adjacent carbon nanotubes is strong, which enables the carbon nanotubes to be pulled out from thecarbon nanotube array 20 to form theyarn 204. Therefore, non-porous silicon wafer or silicon wafer with a thermal-oxidized film can be used as thesubstrate 22. - If factors b and c above are fulfilled, the carbon nanotubes will be well graphitized, and will have no deposits on their outer surfaces. As is known in the art, during the growth of carbon nanotubes, amorphous carbons are simultaneously deposited on outer surfaces of the carbon nanotubes. This gives rise to considerably less van der Waals attraction between the carbon nanotubes. The growth rate of the carbon nanotubes needs to be high, while the deposition rate of amorphous carbons needs to be low. The growth rate of carbon nanotubes is proportional to the difference between the furnace temperature and the local temperature of the catalyst. Generally, the difference in the temperatures is controlled to be at least 50° C., in order to enhance the growth rate of the carbon nanotubes. The deposition rate of amorphous carbons is proportional to the partial pressure of carbon source gas. In practice, the local temperature of the catalyst can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate of carbon source gas, and the furnace temperature can be directly controlled. The partial pressure of carbon source gas can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of the flow rates of the carbon source gas and the protecting gas. Typically, the partial pressure of carbon source gas is controlled to be not more than 0.2, and preferably not more than 0.1.
- A combined width of the
yarn 204 depends on a number of carbon nanotube threads in theyarn 204. In general, the combined width of theyarn 204 can be controlled by a size of the tips of the tool that is used to pull out theyarn 204. The smaller the tips, the thinner the combined width of theyarn 204. A force required to pull out theyarn 204 together depends on the combined width of theyarn 204. Generally, the greater the combined width of theyarn 204, the greater the force required. A combined length of theyarn 204 depends on an area of thecarbon nanotube array 20. - In alternative embodiments of the preferred method, when forming the
carbon nanotube array 20, other gases such as nitrogen or helium can be used as the protecting gas instead of argon gas. Other metals, such as cobalt or nickel, can be used as the catalyst instead of iron. Other carbon hydrogen compounds, such as methane or ethylene, can be used as the carbon source gas. - Preferably, the formed
light filament 206 is further treated as follows. Thelight filament 206 mounted on theleads 30 is put into a vacuum system, which is evacuated to 5×10−3Pa (Pascals). Then a DC voltage is applied to thelight filament 206 across the tungsten leads 30 for a fixed period of time so that thelight filament 206 emits incandescent light. After such so-called heat treatment, thelight filament 206 is stronger and more elastic. In addition, it has been found that when higher DC voltages are used for the heat treatment, electrical current in thelight filament 206 increases proportionately. It has also been found that the tensile strength and the conductivity of thelight filament 206 can be considerably enhanced by such heat treatment. - In particular, a new
light filament 206′ (not illustrated) having new properties can be formed essentially by performing such a heat treatment on thelight filament 206. A different newlight filament 206″ (not illustrated) having different properties can be formed by performing a similar heat treatment on thelight filament 206, but using different parameters of time and voltage applied. By plotting the I-V (current-voltage) curve and measuring the tensile strength of each of thelight filaments light filament 206 by the two different regimes of heat treatment can be investigated. - For instance, when a fixed DC voltage of 50V was applied to one
light filament 206 for 3 hours, and thelight filament 206 was then allowed to cool down, it became thelight filament 206′. When a fixed DC voltage of 70V was applied to another identicallight filament 206 for 3 hours, and said another light filament was then allowed to cool down, said another identicallight filament 206 became thelight filament 206″. - Referring to FIG. 4, the I-V curves of the
light filaments light filament 206″ carries about 13% more current than thelight filament 206 at this operating voltage. - Tensile breaking strength tests have been conducted on the
light filaments light filament light filament 206 is enhanced more than six-fold after heat treatment for 3 hours at 70V to form thelight filament 206″. - The enhanced conductivity and tensile strength of the
light filament 206″ indicates that some structural change has occurred in thelight filament 206 as a result of said heat treatment. During heat treatment of thelight filament 206, thejoint portions 203 of theyam 204 provide the highest electrical resistivity in thelight filament 206. Accordingly, thesejoint portions 203 sustain the highest increases in temperature, and the structure of thelight filament 206 at thesejoint portions 203 may be changed significantly. - It will be understood that the particular devices embodying the present invention are shown and described by way of illustration only, and not as limiting the invention. The principles and features of the present invention may be employed in various and numerous embodiments thereof without departing from the scope of the invention.
